Mostly Murder (But Sometimes Not)

Mostly Murder (But Sometimes Not) is a podcast where four siblings loosely discuss mysteries and whodunits throughout a vast array of pop culture media. We love mysteries, and have since we were reading Boxcar Children and Nancy Drew by flashlight after Lights-Out.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars, "Sphere of Influence" (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    New episode out now! We take a semi-detour to a galaxy far, far away with the season three episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars , “Sphere of Influence”. We debate the role of the Jedi within the Republic and talk about how they serve as diplomats, law enforcement, security, advisors, monks, or investigators whenever the need arises. We discuss how this show is for children and therefore the “mystery” is highly simplified, think the tone can swing wildly between Saturday Morning Cartoon and compl

    How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, "The Wake" (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    New episode out now! We watched the first episode of the Netflix show How to Get to Heaven from Belfast , a story about three women investigating the sudden death of their estranged childhood friend who held a mysterious secret. We discuss how this is a very vibes-heavy show, loved the Northern Irish setting and appreciated that it was in modern day, and got excited about the fact that we don’t have a clue what is happening and how we all had different theories. We also loved the specificity of
